Trump Insults on Rails

This app was created as an intro project for the Full Stack Development course. It contains a website that live archives former President Donald Trumps insult tweets before he got banned from Twitter.

Requirements

Ruby (v2.7.2)

Rails: (v3.1.2)

Yarn

Node

Setup

First, you'll want to run:

yarn install
bundle install

This will grab all the dependencies.

Usage

You'll need to migrate the db for the project to work by running the following:

rake db:migrate

After migrating, you need to seed the database with data (if you want the tweets to load from the .csv):

rake db:seed

You will see the output of the seeding live in the terminal window. This may take some time.

After the db migration and seed are complete, you can start the app by running the following:

rake assets:precompile

This will allow the image assets and CSS to load properly.

Then, you can run the following to get the two servers for the application up:

rails s
./bin/webpack-dev-server

I prefer running these two commands above in individual terminal instances, but you can do as you please at this point.

Once everything is running, you can navigate to the link below to view the live app:
